Edge

Triggers when signal meets slope (positive, negative, or Window) and level condition.

Glitch

Triggers on positive or negative glitches with widths selectable from 2.5 ns to 20 s or on intermittent faults.  Includes exclusion mode (trigger on intermittent faults by specifying the normal width period).

Width

Triggers on positive or negative pulse widths selectable from 2.5 ns to 20 s or on intermittent faults.  Includes exclusion mode (trigger on intermittent faults by specifying the normal width period).

Logic (Pattern)

Logic combination (AND, NAND, OR, NOR) of 5 inputs (4 channels and external trigger input).   Each source can be high, low, or don’t care. The High and Low level can be selected independently.

TV-Composite Video

Triggers selectable fields (1, 2, 4, or 8), Positive or Negative slope, for NTSC, PAL, SECAM, or non-standard video (up to 1500 lines).

Optional SMART Triggers™
(WS-ADVTRIG option)

Runt

Trigger on positive or negative runts defined by two voltage limits and two time limits.  Select between 2 ns and 20s. Includes exclusion mode (trigger on intermittent faults by specifying the normal width or period).

Slew Rate

Trigger on edge rates. Select limits for dV, dt, and slope. Select edge limits between 2 ns and 20 s.  Includes exclusion mode (trigger on intermittent faults by specifying the normal width or period).

Interval (Signal or Pattern)

Triggers on intervals selectable between 2 ns and 20 s.

Dropout

Triggers if signal drops out for longer than selected time between 2 ns and 20 s. Includes exclusion mode (trigger on intermittent faults by specifying the normal width or period).

Qualified (State or Edge) Triggers on any input source only if a defined state or edge occurred on another input source. Delay between sources is 2 ns to 20 s, or 1 to 99,999,999 events. Includes exclusion mode (trigger on intermittent faults by specifying the normal width or period).

Measure, Zoom, and Math Tools

Standard Parameter Measurements

Up to 6 of the following parameters can be calculated at one time on any waveform: Amplitude, Area, Base (Low), Cyclic Area, Cyclic Mean, Cyclic RMS, Cyclic Std. Deviation, Delay, Duty, Fall Time (90%-10%), Fall Time (80%-20%), Frequency, Maximum, Mean, Minimum, Overshoot+, Overshoot-, Period, Peak-Peak, Phase, Rise Time (10%-90%), Rise Time (20%-80%), RMS, Skew, Standard Deviation, Top (High), Width+, Width-. Measurements may be gated.

Zooming

Use front panel QuickZoom button, or use touch screen or mouse to draw a box around the zoom area.

Standard Math

Operators include Sum, Difference, Product, Ratio, and FFT (up to 25 kpts with power spectrum output and rectangular, VonHann, and FlatTop windows). 1 math function may be defined at a time.

Extended Math

Adds the following additional math functions: Absolute Value, Averaging (summed and continuous),

(WS-MATHSURF Option)

Derivative, Envelope, Enhanced Resolution (to 11 bits), Floor, Integral, Invert, Reciprocal, Roof, Square, and Square Root. Also adds chaining of two math functions and rescaling to different units.
